Colin King lives a dual life. To most, he is one
of Britain's idle rich
- a playboy socialite with few cares. However, to a select few, he
is also
Ninjak, an espionage agent without equal.
Much of Ninjak's history is unknown. He was at one
time an agent for the
Weaponeer Organization, now defunct. This organization combatted the
threat
of Dr. Silk and WEBNET, an illegal consortium of technical, industrial,
and
financial institutions with holdings and interests worldwide. While
Silk has
since destroyed the Weaponeers, his plans have been thwarted time and
again
by Ninjak. Silk has sworn not to rest until he has rid himself of this
thorn
in his side.
Ninjak is a man of many abilities. His greatest
asset is his powerful
intellect. He is the smartest man in the world. His understanding of
human
psychology is so thorough that he is always one step ahead of any opponent.
Ninjak has the almost preternatural ability to anticipate every possible
element in a given situation and prepare a counter for it. Ninjak is
also
adept at learning and understanding any language, including computer
languages. Ninjak is able to pick up native tongues as easily as he
is able
to decipher computer codes and hack through the most complex systems.
In his pursuit of physical perfection, Ninjak has
honed his body to the
level of an Olympic decathlete. He has mastered a variety of martial
arts
forms, including karate, jeet kune-do, judo, aikido and several forms
of
kung-fu. However, his fighting style of choice is the forbidden and
lethal
art of ninjitsu. Ninja warriors of feudal Japan used this art of deception
and illusion as dark assassins. Ninjak is the only living non-Asian
to
conquer this discipline. In addition to possessing various fighting
styles,
Ninjak is also an expert marksman, and trained in the use of the world's
cutting edge weaponry. He is also an expert at the sai, bo staff, swords
and
bladed projectiles.
Ninjak is driven by a strong personal code. He does
not subscribe to any
belief system, and his loyalty is strongest to himself and to his purposes.
He has tentatively allied himself with Neville Alcott's European
intelligence agency, MI-6. At times he has worked with the likes of
Bloodshot, X-O Manowar, and the Secret Weapons. However, he prefers
working
alone.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

1) Neville Alcott: Colonel Alcott commands the covert
intelligence
operation MI-6, located far beneath London's Heathrow Airport. MI-6
is
called upon to aid other international agencies when conventional means
are
deemed ineffective. Alcott's association with Colin King apparently
stretches far back into King's past. The details are, as yet, unknown.
2) Jillian Alcott: Jillian is Colonel Alcott's daughter
and an MI-6
operative. Jillian was recently kidnapped by WEBNET, and Ninjak and
the
Secret Weapons were assigned to rescue her. Jillian survived her kidnapping
and has since returned to MI-6.
3) Tank: Tank is one of the members of Secret Weapons.
However, since he
is a Harbinger with super-dense, bulletproof skin, Tank is not required
to
wear the tech suit used by the other members.
4) John Sinclair: Sinclair is Alcott's attache and
leader of the
paramilitary group, Secret Weapons. He has since taken the call-sign,
Para-man, after replacing the original operative. Sinclair has been
instrumental in the "recruitment" of Ninjak for MI-6 assignments.
5) Michiko Okubo: Michiko is Colin King's first
and only true love. Her
father, Senator Yusaku Okubo, forced King to stay away from his daughter
because he felt that King was a dishonorable "gaijin." King has obeyed,
but
never forgets Michiko. He refuses to get emotionally involved with
anyone
else because of his devotion.
6) Goro Sanada: Sanada, a.k.a. the Seventh Dragon,
is an old rival of
Colin King's. Both vied for the love of Michiko Okubo. Michiko chose
King,
much to the chagrin of her father. Sanada, feeling disgraced, has harbored
the resentment over the years. Goro and Ninjak were forced to work
together
to save Senator Okubo and Michiko from the Japanese mafia. Recently,
Sanada
was hired by Dr. Silk to assassinate Ninjak. Ninjak emerged victorious
from
the battle.
7) Dr. Silk: Dr. Augustus Silk controls Comsat International,
an
international front for WEBNET, an organization dealing with illegal
activities in technical, industrial and financial institutions worldwide.
Silk, a crippled and disfigured recluse, uses the vast computer network
at
his disposal to manipulate human lives and destroy international finances.
Ninjak and the Weaponeer Organization worked to stop Silk's schemes.
Since
the destruction of the Weaponeers, Silk's only obstacle has been Ninjak.
Ninjak's incredible intelligence begs for a challenge and Silk has
proven to
be such. These two adversaries have initiated a global game of chess,
with
human lives as their pawns. Silk has yet to determine Ninjak's identity,
but
he has vowed to see him destroyed.

Scarf: Multifunctional, highly resilient fabric.
Functions as mask or
other costume element, breathfilter, length of rope, harness, etc.
Can also
be used as bullwhip or distraction effect.
Body Stocking: Suit is reinforced with bulletproof
Kevlar body armor.
Multilayered, high-density woven nylon armor absorbs and diffuses bullet
impacts.
Wire endo-skeleton woven into suit responds to internal
thermal system
easily accessed by Ninjak. System warms or cools suit, engaging its
chameleon effect. Hence, if Ninjak were caught in a snow field, the
chameleon system could effect a white, gray and ice blue camouflage
for him.

Shields: Forearm, shoulder and ankle shields function
as protection from
bladed or low velocity projectile weapons. Shields also serve as shackles
and braces, among other functions.
